I hear you sharon b. I just started a new job last month after being out of work for almost 18 months. For some reason, while I was out, I didn't quilt. But I am back into it now, with my friends. I hope you find a new job soon. Keep a positive outlook. I know it's hard, but try to do it. I told myself I could only worry for 5 minutes a day. It worked most of the time. I also kept telling myself "I have enough for today." That helped me stop worrying about the future. The hardest part was having faith that when I needed something, it would be there. But I found having this faith in the universe or God or whatever you want to call it, really works, but you have to believe it. I wish you all the best in your job search. You are not alone.
